That
the levy court of Prince George's county, if they or a majority of
them should think that a road beginning at the main road leading
from Piscataway to Nottingham, at or near Elizabeth Mitchell's,
thence across Piscataway Swamp on the west of Joseph N. Burche's
plantation, by Edward H. Calvert's new mill; thence over the most
advantageous ground to the public road leading by Spalding's tavern
to the city of Washington, is necessary or beneficial to the
inhabitants of said county, shall have power and authority to appoint
three commissioners to view said ground, and lay off a road
not exceeding thirty feet wide, on the straightest direction the
ground will admit of, and have the same surveyed, and plain plots
made of the same, and return said plots to the levy court of the
county aforesaid under their hands; and said commissioners shall
have full power to bargain and contract with any person or persons
over whose lands the said road may pass, or adjudge the damage
any person or persons may sustain by the said road, and make a
return of all contracts by them made for land, or damages adjudged
by them, by reason of opening said road, to the levy court, under
their hands; and the said court may order the same to be recorded,
or reject the same or any part thereof; and the levy court shall levy
on the assessable property of Prince-George's county the expense
of the commissioners for viewing and surveying said road; and if
the levy court shall confirm the said road agreeable to the return
of
the commissioners, and cause the same to be recorded, the levy
court shall then appoint a supervisor or supervisors to clear and
open said road, not exceeding thirty feet in width, and may levy
the expense of said road upon the assessable property of Prince-George's
county, or should the levy court be of opinion that said
road is not of public utility, but is only calculated to serve private
individuals, in that case the court shall grant said road on the application
of the petitioners, they paying all damage and expense of
said road, and the levy court shall thereupon confirm the said road, |
